<p>That is, extra-curricular activities</p>
<p>Club-wise, I'm in science olympiad, chess club, and california scholarship federation. Outside of school, I bowl, I volunteer a little bit, and I do church activities. Is that enough?</p>
<p>If you are very involved in those clubs and/or have leadership, then yes you’re good because that shows your commitment. </p>
<p>If all you’re doing is showing up for meetings…then not so much. </p>
<p>Colleges don’t want to see you in a million different clubs, but they want to see you actively involved in whichever clubs you are in. If you’re not active right now besides meetings, become active.</p>
<p>How exactly do you become active besides meetings? There really isn’t much else to do outside of meetings.</p>
<p>Showing up to meetings is fine for involvement. Having leadership positions are helpful, but they aren’t necessary. Not every EC has opportunities for them. If you love what you are doing and do your best to make it the best it can be, you are doing a good job.
They don’t want to see you are only going to something that has 1 meeting ever other week for an hour and all you do is eat snacks.</p>
<p>You need 20+ ECs in order to get into college.</p>
<p>^ That’s ridiculous. But I would say join at least 3 more random clubs and if possible get an officer position in another. Adcoms will obviously be impressed then.</p>
<p>20 ECs is conservative. More like 30.</p>
<p>That was sarcasm.</p>
<p>Seriously though, enough ECs for what? Any school?</p>
<p>@ifax: I want to go to Stanford or Berkeley, and my main back up if I don’t get into/can’t afford them would be Cal Poly.</p>
<p>quality > quantity</p>
